The following account Of the race be-
tween the Volunteer and Thistle on
Tuesday was telegraphed to the San
Francisco Post. ''' . ,.n'' '.''..."' -.1-s
The official time of the Thistle CROSS
ing the line was 1885, and Of the Vol
unteer 1896. The Thistle. at once
tackled to starboard, heading for the
Long Island shore. The result was
that she lost her wind entirely, while
the Yankee held the light air. At 22:44
the Thistle seemed motionless. A few
minutes later she began to move slowly.
The Volunteer had meantime captured
lead of perhaps three cable lengths.
The Yankee heeled along gracefully,
making good time and increasing her
lead. There was a magnificent array
of sailing, steam barges behind the rae
ers, stretching in an almost unbrolzen
line from shore to shore, making the
finest picture ever seen in the bay OF
New York.
As the Volunteer approached Fort
Wadsworth great cheer went up from
tbs throats of the thousands of speeta.
tors, and the fleet took up the refrain
and gave her rousing send off. She
was going very fast. The Thistle had
a good full, but her sails somehow
failed to draw like tn, VoIunteer's

Heavenly Visitors.

On last Saturday evening about
sundown, on the Sterling johnson
place, two and one-half miles south
east of Milan, six angels were seen to
fly down into the yard of Mrs. Wood,
a widow lady. 1t seems that Mrs.
Wood was very low with sickness,
and several ladies We're present at
tending the wants of the sick, when
a noise in the yard attracted their at
tention. Upon looking out of the
window they saw an angel, and In q
moment more it was joined by five
others. They were there only for a
few minutes and took their flight,
nying straight up untll-iost 10 view.
They, with the exception of wings,
were in the form and shape of a man,
with clear-cut and fineiy-formed
features, and We're clothed in gar
ments of pure and spotless white,
while halo of heavenly light encir-
cled their heads. iiie aiDoSe was
told to us as the truth, and can be
vouched for by the ladies who were
in attendance upon Mrs. Wood. Be
that as it may, it has created consid-
erable excitement in that neighbor-
hood. - MIan t.rchange.
Mr.. w. A. Wade, the editor of the

miles an hour when the obstruction
was sighted, which gave the engi-
neer a chance to slacken his speed
considerably before the crash came.
The collision was severe enough,
however, to cause the immense
structure, $50 feet high, to tremble
and to throw the passengers out OF
their seats. There was no serious
accidents; but horrible calamity
was happily averted by the fact that
the engineer of the passenger train
had a presentiment that his run
would not be made without danger,
and for that reason he had gone over
the trestle at slower rate than
usual.
